    To obtain this cheevo, you need to craft 3 legendary items. As the name implies you need to craft top tier stuff, which is highly valuable.

    Short Explanation :
    1) Put 20 points in Intelligence or 18 in Technical Ability
    2)Unlock Edgerunner Artisan (tech) or Bartmos' Legacy (int) perk
    3) Craft 3 legendary items
    4) Achievement unlocked, happy gamer.

    Long Explanation

    If you want to obtain as soon as possible you need to create a character and put ALL the starting stats in one of these two options: technical ability OR intelligence.
    After that you need to reach lv 10 while putting all the stats points in the aforementioned stats of your choice, by doing that you should have either technical ability at 18 or intelligence at 20.
    THIS IS THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT for crafting legendary items, because you need a perk that allows you to craft legendary items and this one will be able to be unlocked only if you have 18 points in tech or 20 in Int. (The perks are: Edgerunner artisan for technical ability and Bartmos' Legacy for Intelligence).
    Once you obtain one of these two, you are allowed to craft legendary items.
    You need a LOT of materials and a blueprint for crafting a legendary one. Don't worry about the blueprints, since you get a few from the main quest(if you go for the technical path, for the intelligence one you need to have the perk in order to get them). Materials can be a pain to find, so you may want to visit junk shop/netrunner shops to buy some extra ones.

    IMPORTANT Since the perk tree is not actually a tree, you can unlock immediately the perk to craft as soon as you hit 18/20 on the stat. You don't need to have the uncommon/rare/epic one. HOWEVER, especially for the intelligence path, to craft the legendary quickhacks you need the epic version of that one. The epic can still be found on the world, from loot and quests rewards or you can buy them. So I'd recommend to have them to make your life easier. There are other perks that helps you finding more crafting components, but it's up to you if you want them or not.

    Once you craft three items the achievement will unlock!

    Happy hunting.

    ewerybodyWeird. I crafted countless legendary items already. yet this achievement is at 66% for me so far :/
    Does "legendary item" really mean ANY orange/legendary thing you can craft or is it a special category? I mean obviously I crafted some but now I have no idea what it was and cannot complete this achievement 😞

    Pulzy@ewerybody I was able to unlock this achievement by unlocking the 'Tune-Up' crafting perk and then crafting Legendary Item Components, Legendary Quickhack Components and Legendary Upgrade Components.

    This works as of Update 2.0.

    (I loaded an old save that I was fairly far into the story to do this).

    This was very easy, no perks or levelling up of any attributes required.
    In the crafting menu (go to Inventory and then Crafting in the bottom right corner) you need to craft 3 of the Orange items (I had a load of options in my older playthrough and barely any in the one I'm going through now for Phantom Liberty so I assume you unlock the blueprints as you play the game).
    You need Tier 5 Item Components to craft Legendary (Orange) items. I made 3 of a quick hack (System Collapse) which cost me 12 Tier 5 components per craft (36 in total).
    If your playing through the game then you can make the various Tier components by crafting them out of the previous level Tier. Just save everything you can and use them to build up to the Tier 5 components.

    I haven't seen this exact solution explained anywhere, so posting for others who might feel stuck like I did.

    As nicely explained by E73RN I Erj in the other guide, to obtain the perk(s) to craft legendary items, you need to have either level 20 Intelligence or level 18 Technical ability. But, you only get 71 attribute points to spend, and I did not wisely spend enough of those 71 points on Intelligence or Technical ability, so I was locked out from advancing either of those attributes far enough to unlock either of the needed perks.

    However, you fortunately do have the ability to craft one legendary item - the legendary System Reset quickhack.

    In the side job Spellbound, you need to successfully datamine the Book of Spells (sequence is BD E9 BD 55 1C FF BD) to gain the crafting spec for the legendary System Reset. Completing the side job Kold Mirage will reward you with an epic System Reset which is needed to craft the legendary System Reset.

    Before starting the point of no return main job Nocturne Op55N1, craft the legendary System Reset quickhack twice. Craft the first one by using the epic System Reset rewarded for completing Kold Mirage. Sell the legendary System Reset you just crafted to any vendor (you can't craft the legendary System Reset again if you already possess one). Then go to the Netrunner who has an epic System Reset for sale in the northern part of Japantown (just to the east of the Skyline & Salinas fast travel point). Buy it, then craft the second legendary System Reset.

    Once you complete the final mission and return to free roam, visit the Netrunner in northern Japantown again. He should have another epic System Reset for sale. If you still have the legendary System Reset in your inventory, sell it, then buy epic System Reset, craft another legendary System Reset, and then the achievement should unlock!

    Important: Make sure you craft two legendary System Resets BEFORE starting Nocturne Op55N1!
